Building the library

We require several tools to build the software, including:

The required software is typically distributed with your operating system, and the instructions for installing them differ. Here are some hints:

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install make git autoconf automake libtool bison
sudo apt-get install texinfo help2man gtk-doc-tools valgrind abigail-tools

PDF manual - Debian <= stretch:

sudo apt-get install texlive-generic-recommended texlive texlive-extra-utils

PDF manual - Debian >= buster:

sudo apt-get install texlive-plain-generic texlive texlive-extra-utils

The next step is to run autoreconf, ./configure, etc:

$ ./bootstrap

Then build the project normally:

$ ./configure
$ make check

Happy hacking!
